A Memorable Occasion at Haz-
ards Pavilion.


The last night of the season of tn,
National Opera Company in Los Angelo.
will long remain in the minds of play
goers hereabouts among the mos
brilliant memorabilia there treasured.
For the farewell performance Ruben
STEMS grand spectacular opera Nero wa,
billed, and the anticipation Of the play
filed the house to Its very utmost capac.
ity. Such an audience has never beer
gathered before inside any building in
this city. There were upwards of $500
people in the Pavilion, and they were a
most distinguished Gathering of people
indeed. The ladies were dressed in
superb costumes, and many of them
wore great wealth of costly gems.
The opera was new to a great many
present, and it gave opportunity to dis.
play the full strength OF the National
Opera Company in all its parts. All the
fine voices were called into requisition,
most Of them 10 really exieent roles
There is plenty of work cut out for
Theodore Thomas matohless body Of
musicians, who compose the orchestra,
the ballet was introduced in telling ef-
feet, in most picturesque costumes, then
there was so many opportunities TO
mass the immense number OF performers
in the Roman mobs, at the
games, and in the legious,
and lastly the most brilliant
effects of the magnificent spectacular
appliances of the company in the dsz-
zlipg mise en- scene of the Roman popu-
lace, the gay scenes of festivity,, the
burning of Rome, the spectres in the
mausoleum of Augustus, and the mar
shalling of the legions of the empire!
The HERALD has heretofore given gen.
erous, but we'll deserved need of praise
to the fine voices of the leading artists,
and the perfect handling of the great
chorus. 1t is always "a work of
supererogation to speak praise
of Thomas orchestra. The de-
partment calling for special com
ment here is the superb mise e', scene of
the Nero. Such stage effects have never
been witnessed in Los Angeles, and the
superior of the scenes in Nero as pre-.

ioyed in the largest capitol of Europe.
The gorgeous costumes worn by the
actors were worthy OF Rome in the days
OF dissolute Cesars. The street scenes
made one realize the city of marble
made by Augustus, and the burning of the
mighty domes and palaces was intensely
thrilling. The scene in the tomb of the
dead first Cie sar was found in its gloom.
The marching of the legions, the sun
upon the hills and the death of the
Emperor, made fitting denoument to
all going before.
The curtain was rung mp on the
feasting scene in the mansion of the Ro,
mau lady at 1880, and it was half an
hour past midnight when it fell for the
last time on "Vindex" and his legions,
grouped around the dead tyrant. SO

OF Rubenstein's masterpiece, set to so
gorgeous and picturesque scenes and
sang SO divinely, did not at all weary

that the occasion was one of unsurpass.

STEAMERS IN DANGER.
They Are the Celtic, British
Queen and One Not Known.

NEW YORK, May 2l.-Early this af-
ternoon, when about 100 miles east of
Sandy Hook, the steamship Etruria, of
the Cunard line. bound in, and which
arrived here tonight, sighted four
steamships punched together, they being
the Celtic and Brittanic, of the White
Star line, the British Queen, sailing on
the Inman line, and the other not iden-
titled. They were steaming westward at
a slow rate OF speed. The Celtic was
disabled, with her stern stove in and
knocked to one side, and the other yes.
sells were assisting. The Etruria passed
four vessels four miles from them, and
as the weather was growing rapidly
cool, did not think it expedent to go to
them.
1t was the impression of Captain
Cook, from the character of the injury
to the Celtic's bows that she had
encountered an iceberg. The slow
moving vessels were soon lost sight of
in the fog, and as it did not lift, they
would have had difficulty in reaching
quarantine. The Celtic sailed from
Liverpool ahead of the E;ruria, and is
due at her pier to-day. The Brittanic,
which is conveying her into port, sailed
to Liverpool last Wednesday. The
British Queen is bound in.

MISSENT OR STOLEN.
Mysterious Disappearance OF a
Registered Package.

A mysterious disappearance took place
at the Postoffice yesterday afternoon,
which is as yet unexplained. 1t appears
that shortly before A O'Clock several
pouches containing registered packages
were made up by Mailing Clerk Blake.
These pouches were destined for Pasa-
dena, South Pasadena, Lamanda Park
and Long Beach. There were numerous
packages for Pasadena and Lamanda
Park, but only one for Long Beach.
After these packages had been carefully
placed in the pouches MIR. Blake started
to 90 home, but for some reason revisited
the Postoffice, and happening to look in
the pouch for Long Beach, found that it
was empty. He Immediately notified his
superior, Assistant Postmaster McCur-
die, who also examined the Long Beach
pouch, but found that it contained
nothing. Deeming it better to be cer-
tain that no one in the Office had the
missing package on his person, he sent
out and secured the services of two po-
lice officers, who searched all the en-
ployes of the Office, including the two
mailing clerks Blake and Mex enzie, in
whose charge the mailing table had been
placed. The search was fruitless, for
| the package was not found on the per.
sons of any of the employees. 1t was
then suspected that the package might
have been placed by accident in one Of
the pouches for either Pasadena, South
Pasadena or Lamanda Park, which had
been made up at the same time. Tele-
grams were sent to those places, but
only one answer was received iron
Pasadena. The Postmaster al
that place seated that the missing pack
age was not in his pouch. No answer il
expected from either South Pasadena OIL
Lamanda Park until to-day, when it il
hoped the word will be received that tht
package has been found. This is no
the first package which has mysteriously
disappeared within the past three weeks
two other packages have disappeared
here or at Santa Monica. 1t appear
that there is no mail agent on the route
and the pouches are locked here ant
opened at Santa Monica, key bein,
kept at both places. The packages
therefore, must have been taken eithe
at this end or at Santa Monica, but tn
matter is in the hands of the inspecto
who has been investigating. The mys
9 terry concerning the disappearance of tn
s last package will probably be cleared U
to-day.

GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
"A Telegraphic Report as TO Its
Location.


The whole people of the city are in.
terested in the location of the new
Government building, but this interest
was not manifested to any great degree
when the Treasury Agent, Col. I. d, Fis.
ter, was here short time ago. Property
owners in the present center of business,
thinking that their property is valuable
enough any way. made no effort to Sc.
cure the building. The st. Vincent
hotel people. offered lot at the corner of
Fort and Seventh streets for dollar.
Since the departure of Col. Fister some
long headed men owning property on
South Main street, and, knowing how
much their property would be enhanced
in value by the location Of the magnifi.
cent public building in that vicinity,
have been quietly at work. These gen.
tlemen purchased the lot on Main
street, between Fourth and Fifth, on
which stands an old historic adobe
building, and offered it to the Govern.
ment for $4,000. That the efforts OF
these gentlemen have been crowned
with success, the following telegram re-
ceived yesterday would indicate;
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 81, 1887.

THE POPE,S LETTER.

ness-George,s Idea.

HohueHs-UeofSc 1dea.
New YORK, May 2l.-Archbish Cor
rigan to-day received letter from the
Pope, regarding the case OF DIR.
McGlynn. The letter commends the
course of the Archbishop and laments
his rebellion against his authority, and
deplores the fact tha. the other mem-
bers of the clergy are imbued with the
doctrines OF DR.. McGlynn. The Pope
refers to the teachings of Or. McGlynn
on the land question rs "vicious seeds of
doctrine scattered under the pretext Of
helping the masses" The Pope assures
the Archbishop that his good name aud
dignity, as well as that of the Apostolic
See, cannot be permitted to suffer any
indignity, and that timely measures will
be taken for the correction of bis rebel
lion.
On being shown the Pope's letter,
Henry George said: THAT it was un.
doubtedly the reply to garbled state
ment sent the Pope by Archbishop Cor.
rigan." He didn't think it amounted to
much, and ridiculed the Pope's expires.

and his notion that the latter had been
